Do dogs need grass in the yard?
Lawns are expensive, environmentally unfriendly and, for households with dogs, tough to keep green and lush. Dog urine is high in nitrogen and can burn your lawn, leaving the landscape dotted with brown spots. In addition, many dogs have allergies to grass and may endlessly lick their paws after exposure.
